[Q] error trying to access recovery (stock rom) topic

Hi, here's the deal: I was given an Asus TF300t with the touch screen broken to a hit. I've replaced it and it worked fine for about a week or so. Now the touch panel acts as if someone had his fingers stuck at the corners, either the top right or both bottom ones.

I'm trying to rule out a software glitch, so I tried to access the recovery to wipe everything and restore to defaults. I can access the menu with the choices of wiping, booting android or entering recovery. I can wipe from that menu. If I try to enter the recovery option, I get a screen with the android logo which also says "error".

Could this be a sign of a hardware problem with the nand? And, in any case, how could I go about fixing the recovery so it works?


(the touch screen issue might still be a hardware issue, due either a defective replacement or something I did wrong when replacing it, but I'm trying to rule out software at this point)

Thanks in advance

[Q] Emulator Issue When Trying to Run Android App topic

Hello. I downloaded the new Android Studio onto my Windows 7 laptop. When I try to run a simple "Hello World" application, I get a message that the Emulator wants me to set the Hardware Acceleration option on my video driver. Unfortunately, my current video driver does not let me change those types of settings. Any advice? Thanks in advance.

[Q] Trying to update my phone, got security fail! topic

I kept trying to update my phone to the newest rom, but the auto update wouldn't work. Because of this, I tried to manually do it following the instructions on the htc website.

This method used the RUU thing.

However, it kept giving me error [155]'s, and now if I unplug my phone from the usb, I just get the "security fail!" and I can't seem to get out of it, or even turn off my phone!

What should I do?

[Q] HELP!!! Trying to root Padfone X topic

So first, I tried Towel Root. It did not work.
(http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2783536)

Second, I went to this forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2790542
Unfortunately, the link for the "The Unofficial TWRP recovery image" isn't working, so I'm out of luck.

Third, I didn't want to do this, but I said, "screw this!" and got some one click rooting apps for windows. It didn't work.

So if anyone has "The Unofficial TWRP recovery image", please take time to get the file and upload it somewhere.
If anyone knows some other way to root this phone, that would be great.

Well I hope someone answers because I really want to root my phone... :crying:

Trying to unroot the Moto X topic

I know how to do all of this, but I can't do it without the stock firmware.:crying:

Here is the link to the forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto...ation-t2603358

I actually found tons of other forums too, but they all had the requirement of the stock firmware, and they all are pointing to the same link, to get the firmware.

Link: http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=0

But so, this website is down for some reason, and I need the stock firmware. If anyone has it and could upload it somewhere, that would be awesome. :good:

[Q] Trying to install android x86 on Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro topic

Hi.

Sorry for my bad english! :(

First i tried android-x86-4.4-RC2 iso + followed the tutorial from here: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!ms...E/RhTWtOjH3H0J
(and downloaded the kitkat_install_package.zip in link above...)
none of these worked.

Then i tried android-x86-4.4-r2.img (.img; which is the efi version not the iso version because im using gpt and uefi and dual booting win8.1 and ubuntu 14.10 with grub...)
i booted live android and unlike the other 2 images i used before, live acctually worked! :D so i did the instruction in this toturial:
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!to...86/GrPdnpa6XBM
i installed android on another usb with ext3 format and copied the files from that usb to a 16gb ext2 gpt partition on my hard drive (yoga 2 pro's ssd) , (also tried ext3)

First i added these grub entries:

Code:

---

menuentry "Android KitKat" {
set root=(hd0,8)
linux /android-4.4-r2/kernel quiet root=/dev/ram0 androidboot.hardware=android_x86 SRC=/android-4.4-r2 DATA= video=-16
initrd /android-4.4-r2/initrd.img
}

---

It didn't worked; when i selected android entry from grub same stuff that appear on live appeared :
. . . . . . (some code) . . .
A N D R O I D root@x86:/

then instead of that android logo that shines appear (splash screen) , it gives me a black screen! (monitor's light won't turn off, its just black...)

i tried a lot of grub entries (im not sure if this is what their name is)
including the codes in this toturial:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2703270

Code:

---

set root='(hd0,4)'
search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root e1f9de05-8d18-48aa-8f08-f0377f663de3
linux androidx86/kernel root=UUID=e1f9de05-8d18-48aa-8f08-f0377f663de3 quiet androidboot.hardware=generic_x86 SRC=/androidx86 acpi_sleep=s3_bios,s3_mode
initrd androidx86/initrd.img

---

i tried the codes from my working live android usb (from android usb, android live entry selected, i pressed e in grub and write down it's codes) :

Code:

---

search --file --no-floppy --set=root /system.sfs
linuxefi /kernel root=/dev/ram0 androidboot.hardware=android_x86 sdhci.debug_quirks=0x8000 quiet DATA=
initrdefi /initrd.img

---

i even mixed all of these codes that i mentioned and IT DIDN'T WORKED! :(

I really want android on my yoga2p because working with it's 13inch touchscreen and its speedy cpu and ssd was really awesome i really enjoyed it! :D
i need your help guys, i would really appreciate it :)
thanks in advance.

So I bootlooped my OnePlus One while trying to flash Franco fast charging onto it.. topic

On Friday I rooted my OPO to gain SU access and everything worked fine. After that I tried to flash Franco fast charging onto it as well, but now it's stuck in a bootloop. It shows the OP logo and "Powered by Android". I also apparently can't access the recovery.
Already tried to factory reset it and install the latest CM version, but whenever any step requires a reboot it still gets stuck. Also tried flashing the boot.img manually as another User pointed out in a thread but still same problem.
What might be the problem? I think maybe I can't do it because for some reason bootloader got locked again(?).
Any step by step instructions to get this thing to work again I will greatly take!
Thank you in advance!
